Just to share a match experience with everyone:

So I played a T20 match between England (me) against West Indies using the newest beta update that Kurt just sent me.

What a match I just had! Unbelievably exciting!

I batted first, scored 164 with Trott top-scoring with 56 of 28 deliveries. I simmed 15 overs of AI batting and when I got into control, West Indies was cruising at 140/4 in 15 overs and the match looked like going AI's way. Chris Gayle was batting on 80-odd and was taking the game away from me.

Then I bought G. Swann into the attach. In overs 16 and 18, he picked 3 wickets (all 3 bowled, 1 around the leg and 2 batsman missing the line of the ball). It felt awesome to get Chris Gayle bowled around his legs on 96 since it looked like he was going to finish the match in a hurry.

Scores went something like this:
End of Over 16: 145/5 (Swann cleaned up Darren Bravo)
End of Over 17: 155/5 (Gayle was taking flintoff apart)
End of Over 18: 156/7 (Swann got Gayle bowled round the legs on 96 and Ramdin bowled first ball)
End of Over 19: 157/7 (Harmission bowled wonderfully well)
End of Over 20: 162/7 (Flintoff gave 4 runs in first 4 deliveries but came back strongly in the last 2)

In the end I won by 2 runs, it was one of the best matches I have ever played in a computer game. Great job Kurt :thumbs

This time it was T20 format
 
@rahulkhush: Aaah, OK - it is the same error as before. I've fixed that up now, but I'll put out another patch a little later today.
 
Posted via Mobile Device

No problem buddy :)
 
Well 2 major bugs, the field settings by AI is not at all good enough. They were scoring 150/0 in 15 overs and the full offside was empty

Second is all the catches caught are not counted as wickets and game just moves on no wicket falls
 
@rahulkhush: Can you give me some more info? Were you simulating or playing? What level were you playing on? What format was it? etc...
 
It was T20 exhibition match between India and New Zealand

New Zealand decided to bat first. Did not simulate a bowl until 15 overs of New Zealand innings. Was on management mode so could see them play. New Zealand scored 192 runs on Normal difficulty and whenever a shot was hit in the air the fielder would catch it but no wickets fall.

Now I simulated the last 5 overs of New Zealand batting.

For India, I batted for 10 overs India were 98/3 Gambhir and Dhoni doing well after the initial hiccup I caused :p I just used lofted shots played in the air the fielder catches but hey!! I am NOT OUT :p . I then simulated 5 overs and India were struggling at 140/5 but in the end managed to score 172 runs in 20 overs losing by 19 runs

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. New Zealand will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. Probably a fair pitch in the greater scheme of things. There was something in it for the bowlers especially in terms of swing, seam and spin. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said New Zealand proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Also there is a bug when we select eliminator for tournaments

I had 6 teams in this tournament where Ireland topped grp A and netherlands was second.. Similarly Afghanistan topped Grp B and Kenya was second

Now the thing is in eliminators 1st play the 4th and 2nd play the 3rd

With it being group Afghanistan and Ireland both topped now sim is confused :p

Also the fixture for eliminators generated were

Afg vs Ned
Ire vs Ken

Now first semi final Afghanistan won
Second Ireland won

Third eliminator match was generated as Netherlands vs Ireland(which should not be the case)

Ireland won the eliminator and tournament ended.. Now what abt Afghanistan's win?
 
I've been simming some matches, looks alright so far. Do you mind if I only go on and on simulating the matches and not playing the game? :p For the testing, I mean. I'm more of a scorecards man. He he.
